Vernon W. Cisney returns to the show to begin our foray into the work of Pierre Klossowski's "Living Currency". We discuss the importance of Nietzsche's theory of drives as a precursor to Klossowski's thought and the challenge of French Communism and post-structuralism to the figure of bourgeois individuality.  We also discuss the influence of Klossowski's work on other French thinkers including Deleuze & Guattari and Foucault.Support the podcast:Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhoriz...
